A review of Emma, vol. 1

Wow... I've had this series recommended by a few different people, and I'm so glad I picked up the first volume. This is a beautiful manga set in Victorian England... not my favorite setting. However, the mangaka's love of all things English really shows and its hard not to share it! ...Přečíst více...

Wow... I've had this series recommended by a few different people, and I'm so glad I picked up the first volume. This is a beautiful manga set in Victorian England... not my favorite setting. However, the mangaka's love of all things English really shows and its hard not to share it! Emma is a "proper British maid" working for a retired governess, Kelly Stownar. When Kelly's former ward, William Jones, stops in to see her, he falls for Emma, but he's certainly not the only person to have a crush on her. The artwork is highly-detailed, often resembling watercolors, with amazing amounts of detail (check out the mudie scene). The characters themselves are not done in your typical manga-style... if you're typically put off by manga, this one would be worth giving a try. The story itself is slow-paced and somewhat subdued (at least in this volume), and I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next. You get the feeling that these characters and their story has a great deal of depth to be uncovered.
